Side by side
Cadenio vs. Tallyfy: what changes in practice
| Dimension | Tallyfy | Cadenio |
|---|---|---|
| Audit trail | Process activity log — no immutable per-step record with attached evidence | Per-task, per-run record with evidence, timestamp, and approver — exportable for audit |
| Approvals | Task approval available — no configurable multi-level chain or rejection loop with record | Approvals with one or multiple reviewers, ANY/ALL policy, rejection loop, and immutable record |
| SLA and escalation | Deadline alerts available — no role-based automatic escalation with run-level record | Pre-deadline alerts + automatic escalation to the right role, recorded in the audit trail |
| Guest access | Strong point: clients and partners complete tasks without needing an account | Runs can be shared with externals via link; access controlled at organization level |
| Regulatory compliance | No specific features for LGPD, GDPR, SOC 2, or ISO 27001 | Controls, evidence export, and compliance documentation for LGPD, GDPR, SOC 2, and ISO |
| Native AI | No AI blueprint generation from natural language | AI generates the full Flow from a plain-text description |
Being honest first
What Tallyfy does well
We're not here to trash Tallyfy. It's a good tool for specific use cases — and you deserve to know when it might be the right choice.
Client-facing workflows
Tallyfy was built for processes that involve external parties. Clients and partners can complete tasks, fill forms, and respond to checklists without creating an account — ideal for customer onboarding or supplier checklist processes.
Simplicity of adoption
The learning curve is low. Teams that need to document and share simple checklists find Tallyfy an accessible starting point, without complex configuration or extensive training.
Basic approval flows
For organizations with simple approval requirements — one task, one approver, no multi-level chain — Tallyfy handles the use case with minimal configuration. The basic approval flow works well for small teams.
Where Cadenio goes further
Why compliance teams choose Cadenio
Compliance record, not a checklist log
In Tallyfy, the log shows what happened in the process. In Cadenio, every completed step generates an immutable record with who did it, when, what evidence was attached, and which workflow version was in effect — ready for ISO, SOC 2, LGPD, or labor audits.
Multi-level approvals with full traceability
Tallyfy has basic task approval. Cadenio has configurable approval chains with ANY/ALL policies, rejection loops with documented reasons, and preserved dissent records — the approver who disagreed doesn't disappear from the audit trail.
SLA and escalation by role, not by person
Cadenio escalates to the right role automatically — not to a name that may have left the company. Every alert that fires before the deadline is recorded in the run's audit trail, making the escalation itself evidence of control.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Cadenio vs. Tallyfy
- Does Tallyfy have an audit trail for compliance?
- Tallyfy records process history, but does not generate a per-run compliance record with immutable per-step evidence. For ISO, SOC 2, or regulatory audits, Tallyfy's history does not substitute a workflow-level audit record with attached evidence, documented approvers, and version references.
- Can I run recurring SOPs with approval requirements in Tallyfy?
- Tallyfy supports recurring checklists and basic task approval, but does not have configurable multi-level approval chains, rejection loops with documented reasons, or automatic role-based escalation. For environments with formal governance requirements, these features are necessary.
- Tallyfy vs Cadenio: what is the key difference?
- Tallyfy is strong at process checklists and client-facing workflows — great for teams that need to share tasks with external partners without requiring an account. Cadenio is built for operational compliance: every run generates an auditable record, multi-level approvals are fully configurable, and the platform is built for LGPD, GDPR, and SOC 2.
- Can I migrate my Tallyfy workflows to Cadenio?
- Yes. Our team offers direct support to map your Tallyfy checklists to Cadenio blueprints. Most workflows migrate in less than a week. You can run Cadenio in parallel with Tallyfy during the transition.
- When is Tallyfy still the right choice?
- Tallyfy is a good choice for simple processes focused on external client or partner participation without accounts, and for teams without formal compliance requirements. When the use case involves audits, multi-level approvals, SLA escalation, or regulatory compliance, Cadenio is the right choice.
